Code: BMD (official violation code)
Description: Most commonly used on DOB documents and systems to label items related to Building and Demolition actions (for example, permit types, job classifications, or filing categories that involve demolition work tied to a building project). Use this when you see it on permit pages or index entries.
Practical Meaning: BDM — If you see BDM, read it as the same meaning as BMD; it generally appears because of formatting, data export quirks, or a vendor/reporting variation, not because it denotes a different rule.
Why It Matters: Treat BMD and BDM as referring to the same subject area (building related work that includes demolition aspects). Look for nearby context on the document: permit type, job description, or section header — that will tell you whether the item is a demolition permit, a building permit with demolition activity, or an administrative classification. If a legal or title‑search question depends on the exact code, confirm with DOB by phone or with a DOB record search to avoid mistakes.
